ذِكْرُ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ

ibnhibban:7177Muḥammad b. Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm a freed slave of Thaqīf > Maḥmūd b. Ghaylān > ʿUmar b. Yūnus > ʿIkrimah b. ʿAmmār > Isḥāq b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Ṭalḥah > Anas b. Mālik

My mother Umm Anas came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. And she prepared my lower garment out of the half of her headdress and (with the other half) she covered my upper body and said: Messenger of Allah, here is my son Unais; I have brought him to you for serving you. Invoke blessings of Allah upon him. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: O Allah, make an increase in his wealth, and progeny. Anas said: By Allah, my fortune is huge and my children, and grand-children are now more than one hundred. (Using translation from Muslim 2481b)   

ابن حبّان:٧١٧٧أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَوْلَى ثَقِيفٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

جَاءَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ أَزَّرَتْنِي بِخِمَارِهَا وَرَدَّتْنِي بِبَعْضِهِ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا أَنَسٌ أَتَيْتُكَ بِهِ لَيَخْدُمَكَ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لَهُ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ أَكْثِرْ مَالَهُ وَوَلَدَهُ» قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ مَالِي لَكَثِيرٌ وَإِنَّ وَلَدِي وَوَلَدَ وَلَدِي يَتَعَاقَبُونَ عَلَى نَحْوِ الْمِائَةِ
